A LITTLE LESS BROWN
In the morning after breakfast, I go up to the roof of our hotel and photograph some of the remnants on the hill behind us. I want to hike up to them, but there is no time for that. We then head over to the Sakya Monastery, built in 1268. Before the Cultural Revolution, it was one of the largest monasteries in Tibet. This is the second time on this trip I have been able to meditate in a monastery and it is an incredible experience.While we make our way back to Shigatse, I take a few more photos in transit. I have never been anywhere with such a wonderful sky and find any excuse I can to photograph it. Prayer flags are also becoming a common attraction.
Finally get a shower in Shigatse. The water coming out of my hair is decidedly brown. I hang out in the hotel's bar with some of my group before heading to dinner and then retire to an early night after another long day of travel.
Incense and candles
Silence engulfed in silence
Offerings abound
